Word of the Day – Pronunciation

In an effort to educate the nominally literate and inform those with sufficient humility to understand their own lack of comprehension, Esme offers the correct definition of misunderstood words…

Pronunciation

  1. (verb – pronunciation note: pro-nuncio-tun) The act of advocating excessive speed on the part of motorcycle riding papal representatives.
    Example: His pronunciation encouraged the cardinal to break the speed limit.
  2. (verb – pronunciation note: pro-noun-say-asian) The declaration of their chosen pronouns by someone with Chinese heritage.
    Example: Su Jin’s pronunciation was they would be they/them henceforth.

If you have any words whose meaning escapes you, Esme Crockford is always happy to share her lexicographical knowledge and penetrating insight into the English language.
